The Existential Crisis of Southern Gotham is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 17.38 billion Gothamens love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Salad City. The average income tax rate is 82.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Southern Gothamen economy, worth a remarkable 1,646 trillion doges a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. Average income is 94,736 doges, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Soldiers find that home gadgets and power tools are more effective as improvised weapons than the guns they've been issued, the official Southern Gothamen Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, Southern Gothamen police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, and the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Southern Gotham's national animal is the Platypus Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Southern Gotham is ranked 8,250th in the world and 425th in Balder for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,852.68 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
